We are in the midst of creating new functions based on a solution presented o the MIT Solve 2020 challenge.

For validating purposes, we create the app with rapid prototyping technologies. On the client side the app is done with Ionic. On the server side we use Python with a MySQL database on a docker container in the AWS cloud.
At the moment the app does not have functionalities for people with disabilities, but we have been testing some technologies to start integrating them.
For blind persons we’ll use text to speech technologies, like Google Cloud Text-to-Speech. For deaf persons, we’ll integrate Hand Talk Libras technology and for people with varying degrees of visual impairment we’ll use app interface customization, like font size, contrast and colors.
To achieve the maximum flexibility on the app, we’ll rewrite the entire app with the Flutter technology. On the server side we’ll rewrite it to create an App Engine server application. This will give complete availability in all traffic scenarios. Data will be stored in the DataStore, the Google NoSQL database.
